CarPlay is much better than what we had before, but I still prefer a great built-in multimedia. But only when they do this right (which is almost never).

The US tariffs will likely force most companies to raise prices around the world to subsidize the US demand
Which is sad but expected
Now might be a good time to buy all those things on your wishlist before they get more expensive

—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
